The Responsive City: A Conversation with Susan Crawford

This interactive session will focus on government officials and
civic activists using new data tools to transform city government,
in particular on the institutional and cultural considerations of
organizational change, from bureaucratic hurdles to communicating
and sharing data across departments and across sectors to the
importance of leadership. About the Study Group This event is the
second in a four-part study group series, "Cities, Technology, and
Democracy" organized by HKS student groups Tech4Change and the
Regional, State, Local, Tribal (RSLT) Governance PIC, along with
the Ash Center. Over the course of four sessions, the group will
explore how new tools empower citizens and create "smart" cities.
The study group will also discuss important challenges. For
instance, will the expansion of data and technology really be
accessible to everyone, or will some groups be left behind?
